San Pedro, CA, Wednesday, October 28, 2015– Vice Presidents Tim Steuernol and Rob Zaharia with NAI Capital completed the sale of a 36-unit apartment portfolio located in San Pedro, Calif. Steuernol and Zaharia represented the buyer Rio Company in the transaction. The seller was Lamont Revocable Trust. The property sold for $5.95 million or $165,278 per unit.

The portfolio sale included two buildings located at 1144 West 13th Street and 1215 South Leland Street in the city of San Pedro. The two buildings were built in 1961, both measuring 14,120 square feet of rentable space. Each apartment building has 18 units and they are connected perpendicular to each other. Facing south on West 13th Street, 1144 West 13th Street has a lager lot size with a pool and back courtyard that extends out bordering the back property line of 1215 South Leland Street which faces east on South Leland Street.

At the time of the sale the portfolio was delivered with one vacant unit or 97% occupancy. The vacancy created an opportunity for the buyer to renovate the unit and bring the rent up to market. Vacancy in San Pedro for apartments is approximately 2.5%, which is extremely low due to the demand for rental units, fuelling escalating rents and exceptional sales prices with extremely low cap rates. Steuernol said, “The apartment market remains very hot with limited product for sale especially for larger unit properties. This portfolio, with 36 units in two neighboring buildings, offered the buyer a great opportunity to buy into an excellent submarket within Los Angeles at one fell swoop.”

Zaharia added, “San Pedro is a great place to own apartments. It offers great amenities with its proximity to the San Pedro Bay Ports, the Queen Mary and Aquarium of the Pacific. The property offers a remarkable long term hold potential for the new owner.”
